The function by itself will not be available within other blocks, since the
function is in local scope.
You should attach the function to the jQuery object instead for later use
using the following syntax :
(function($) {
$.function_name = function test() {
alert('in function');
}
})(jQuery);
Then later in other jQuery blocks (although you will have to ensure that
your previously defined block has been already included) you can call your
function simply by using $.function_name();
